One Premier League manager has refused to rule out an exit just a week before the new season kicks off.
Next week, the new Premier League campaign will begin with champions Liverpool hosting Bournemouth at Anfield on Friday night.
The pick of the first match week will be the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Prior to the new season, teams up and down the land have been working around the clock to improve their options.

However, one manager has been left frustrated by his team's lack of transfer business and has hinted that he could leave the club.
As reported by The Express, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is unimpressed with the club's transfer window, having only added Walter Benitez and Borna Sosa since the start of the summer.
Palace are preparing for life in Europe after winning the FA Cup last season.
Meanwhile, current Palace stars such as Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta have all been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park.

Speaking ahead of the FA Community Shield final against Liverpool, Glasner was asked about leaving the club next summer when his contract expires, the same situation Guehi finds himself in.
He said: "Marc (Guehi) and me, we have the same fate." When pressed on whether his side’s lack of spending will impact his future, Glasner replied: "We will see."
The Austrian continued: "I said if we want to be better than last year, then it's my advice, ‘Let's sign at least two players, then we can achieve this’. To be competitive in four competitions. If somebody thinks that's nonsense, OK, let's see.

"If Crystal Palace wants to play European football, wants to climb the Premier League table and reproduce the success again, it's just what you have to do. Everybody knows this in the building."
He added: "Of course, it helps if players are in early when you start with pre-season because here you have time to train. We are quite passive. We are short of numbers, we have to add players, especially with quality."
Palace will take on Liverpool on Sunday before starting their Premier League campaign against Chelsea next week.
